Started out as a CMP 40X with a cut down stock. Has some pitting on both sides of the barrel at the wood line and the bolt did not match so there's no real value other than a good receiver to build on. Started out with a Choate cheap stock. Didn't like the feel of it at first. Very slick to the touch so used acetone to remove any mold release. Helped but still not there. So painted with Kylon Fusion and feels alot better. Next back end of stock is hollow and drums to the touch. Fixed that with old lead bullets and expaining foam. About two pounds latter and it balances with the 28 inch 40x barrel very nicely. Bolt had alot of headspace so installed a Pacific Tool 40x bolt and it's very tight now. Expect it to grow abit with use so that's OK. 20 dollar gun shop bipod (used). A Tony Spori steel 20 minute one piece base. Walmart weaver rings and a Weaver V16 scope. I did the trigger myself. Cleaned all the old oils out. Had turned to varnish. Replace trigger spring with tire valve spring. Works great for anyone that's not done it. You should start out with about three coils longer than the factory spring as the valve spring is alot softer. Polish all the intenal parts and lub with light electric motor oil. Last along time and holds up to heat very well. Only thing left is to park and bed it. Shoots pretty good as is so I'm not in a hurry for that. Not desided if I want to bob the barrel. Works out so far to be under 700 bucks for the every thing and parking will be cheap to as I do my own.
This one was with the flash on. It's not nearly that glossy in normal light.
